What's the most environmentally friendly way to shave my face? Razor: electric/disposable? Shaving cream: can/mug?

I shave every day, but I can't decide which method is easiest on the planet. In the shower, or at the sink? Using shaving cream in a can, or with a soap mug and brush?

And is using the electric razor more efficient and less polluting than using disposable razors and water? Help! Asked by newuser8865481 45 months ago Similar questions: environmentally friendly shave face Razor electric disposable Shaving cream mug Society > story.

Preserved, Recycled Disposable Razors awildsoapbar.com/default.asp?pageid=1912... Shaving SoapRecently, as a St. Patrick’s Day gift, she gave me a natural shaving soap kit from A Wild Soap Bar. It consists of a sassafras shaving soap bar, an old-timey bristle brush for lathering up my face, and a hardwood bowl. And best of all, the ingredients are so natural, I could conceivably make it myself: olive, palm & castor oils; aloe; clay; sassafras root and cinnamon bark; oats and sea salt.

And so on a recent business trip, I traded in my Barbasol in for all-natural shaving soap. I was a little confused as to the application process at first—without any pressurized goo spewing out of a nozzle, I didn’t know what to do. But after a little water and some swishing with the brush, a nice (and nice-smelling) foam began to appear.

I have to say that overall, the natural shaving soap didn’t provide quite as smooth a shave as the conventional stuff. But I’m OK with it. As I said earlier, it’s been tough for me to give up the trappings of the non-green world when it comes to bath products, and so taking a step forward with shaving soap is a big move for me.

A little less comfort or smoothness on my face is worth it to know I’m making a statement with my dollars not to support the chemical-industrial world. A Greener RazorAs another way to green my shave, Preserve Recycled Razors are a big step forward as well. Made from 100% recycled plastics (in the handle), the razors act just like regular ones, but are a way of making a statement with the dollars I spend.

They are also reusable, as you can interchange the heads while keeping the same handle over and over. The EPA estimates that over 2 billion disposable razors end up in landfills every year in the US. Preserve Recycled Razors are a step in the right direction.

And so I’m excited looking forward: one day when I’m passing down the tradition of shaving to my (potential) son, I’ll be able to pass it down with a legacy of sustainability—a greener way to shave is a step in the right direction.

Gentleman! Those of you who shave...Do you use an electric razor or an unpowered one?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
